Mission
The Sparta Area School District’s WIN After School program provides mind and body wellness, social and emotional learning, academic enrichment, and community connections to students in grades Pre-K-6 within a safe and supportive environment.
Vision
Our vision is for our students to be safe and healthy, kind and responsible, realize their academic potential, and be active in their communities.
Our 4 Elements
WIN After School bases it’s programming on the following 4 Elements: Mind and Body Wellness, Social and Emotional Learning, Academic Enrichment, and Community Connections. Using these 4 Elements, we believe that our students will be set up for success inside and outside the classroom.

Mind and Body Wellness
We believe a happy and healthy student is a student who is ready to learn. We encourage whole-person wellness for every student by focusing on physical activity, healthy eating, mental heath, and avoiding drugs and alcohol.
Social and Emotional Learning
We help students build Social and Emotional Learning skills like managing emotions, setting goals, having empathy, creating positive relationships, and making responsible decisions. Students with these skills will become responsible and caring adults.
Academic Enrichment
Academic Enrichment goes beyond classroom learning and homework. Students in our program engage in hands-on learning and apply their learning to real-life situations. Through these activities, students can increase understanding and engagement in the classroom, including improving grades and test scores.
Community Connections
When we connect our students to the community, we expand their world. Our students participate in service activities, explore college and career options, and get to experience new things through our partnerships with businesses and organizations in our community.
Who is eligible for WIN After School?
Students who reside in the Sparta Area School District and are in grades Pre-K-6 are eligible for enrollment into the WIN After School program. Acceptance into the program is based on teacher referrals, staffing numbers, as well as open spots in the program.
